Elixir Date and Time conversion into US standards

Today I learned how to manually convert a Date and Time into US standards: mm/dd/YYYY and hh:mm am|pm. Here's my code snippet:

defmodule Utils.Converter do
  def to_usa_date(%Date{day: day, month: month, year: year}) do
    "~2..0B/~2..0B/~4..0B"
    |> :io_lib.format([month, day, year])
    |> to_string()
  end

  def to_usa_time(%Time{} = time) do
    period = (time.hour < 12 && "am") || "pm"
    hour = time.hour |> rem(12)

    "~2..0B:~2..0B ~2..0s"
    |> :io_lib.format([hour, time.minute, period])
    |> to_string()
  end
end

This way I can convert dates like ~D[2020-05-29] into 05/29/2020" and times like ~T[11:00:07.001] into 11:00 am" and ~T[23:00:07.001] into 11:00 pm".
